I feel like no one talks about how much your body image changes when you go through a diagnosis like this. From the first week of diagnosis where I couldn’t eat anything and lost a stone, to being put on steroids to reduce the pressure and swelling in my brain and combat my symptoms which…

I feel like I’ve not got all that much to say this time. But still, I feel compelled to write, so here I am. And I’m sure I’ll blabber on for a while anyway 😂 I’ve had a huge shift in the way I feel at the end of last week and so far it’s…

Today feels like a huge step in the right direction for some reason. I’m feeling positive, I feel strong again and back on the path of I CAN DO THIS. Just like everyone keeps telling me 💪🏼. I had an appointment at the Christie this morning. Usually I feel sick to my stomach going there,…

Since feeling anxious about coming home from Blackpool and facing this crazy life again, I felt like I needed some help. I called my GP and we started me on some antidepressants. I want to be honest on this blog. And although people probably don’t need to know that – that’s pretty much just the…

I’ve come to Blackpool with the uni girls for the weekend. These girls are literally SO good for my soul I can’t even tell you. We’ve always wanted to bring George here and show her the tack of Blackpool because she has nothing like this at home in Jersey – we needed to show her…

Three weeks post surgery today!!!! This week has been great for me so far – I feel much more back to my usual self. I can feel my body is getting stronger each day, my fatigue is lessening and I can run up and down those stairs like nobodies business! They’re no match for this…

A lot happens in such a short space of time on this journey. My sutures have been removed now – that was an experience. To have them pulled out of your head as you lay on a bed in the GP surgery definitely makes you remember that you’ve actually had your head and skull cut…

As I approach two weeks post surgery – I feel like it’s gone so quickly. But at the same time, SUPER slow. It’s been 5 days since getting the biopsy results and having time for that to sink in has actually been really tough for me. I’ve been struggling with recovery too. My mind feels…

After a jaunt back into Salford Royal with some dodgey symptoms and struggling with my recovery – we saw one of the doctors who I saw on my first day of diagnosis. He wasn’t worried about any of my symptoms now – they’re all very normal post brain surgery he said! So all good. He…

Since I opened my eyes in recovery and was blessed with seeing my little toes wiggling, remembering everything and being able to walk and talk. I think I’ve underestimated what it takes when recovering. Because I’m finding this recovery HARD. I don’t want to start with making things up now, when I’ve been so brutally…
